Success is Failure and Crisis turned inside out. But it often feels like getting sucker-punched.
And EVERY entrepreneur who has experienced much success knows this ... intimately.
Failure and Crisis are just part of the entrepreneurial journey.
It's figuring out what doesn't work so you can know what does.
I call this cracking-the-code.
As a 6x serial entrepreneur I've learned to be patient with both, knowing I'm on the path to success.
I've had to learn to be content, no matter my circumstances.
This requires I bulletproof my mind with faith in God's promises, a victor mentality.
It's an attitude that governs my contentment.
But understand, being CONTENT is not being complacent.
- It's not waiting around and doing nothing.
- It's not maintaining the status quo.
- It's never quitting, no matter the obstacle.
- It's your commitment to continuing walking forward.
- It's grounded in faith in God's promises for your success.
- It's a bulldog faith that never lets go.
I don't do this by my strength, I do this by God's power inside me. In Him I rest.
EVERY setback is a setup for a comeback.
If you are asking God for miracles in your life, don't be surprised when you suddenly find yourself in a position to need one.
Your failure and crisis (even the self-inflicted ones) are opportunities from God to partner with Him.
He knows exactly what to do and how to do it.
What you could not make happen on your own, God will cause you to accomplish.
It will be bigger than you thought, and it will happen quicker than you could ever imagine.
It will be more rewarding than you ever dreamed of.
